Flynn was a lifelong democrat, an Obama appointee, and a good buddy of KGB/FSB Putin, often appearing on the state-controlled media outlet RT (Russia Today). I was very happy when he left the Trump admin. Paul Manafort, too.

This will drag out past the 2020 elections. Only then will Justice be able to get around to the Clintons and Obamas, and Jarretts.
Well it appears there is one FBI agent willing to step forward. That's a good sign.☺
Flynn needs to sue the crap out of the key players. They have immunity as government employees, but that immunity is not absolute. They have only qualified immunity when their bad acts are constitutional violations.
Why should these a-holes be able to hang on to their millions?
A Federal investigation might, but things are moving much more quickly in other areas because there are ongoing criminal cases here. Someone charged with a crime is guaranteed a “speedy” trial by law, so these cases proceed much faster than others. I believe trial dates have already been set for Paul Manafort and Concord Management, for example.
,,,,, yes we have the guarantee of a “Speedy Trial” ,, but that doesn’t mean a speedy trial is what happens due to many types of legal delays .
I believe Manafort has a trial date in July in one of his two cases. The arraignment for Concord Management was just held a couple of weeks ago, so I'm not sure where that stands.
A court stenographer is an officer of the court and takes down every word and, I believe, gestures if they seem to be in place of words. They use a special type of typewriter that deals with shorthand. An FBI agent who hand writes notes after a meeting is very different. Probably both archaic systems should be changed.
Pray for the safety of agent Pientka.

It’s probably done that way so the government can lie, which is what they do professionally. Lying written words are better than truthful audio. How do you expect them to lie if they’re recorded?
Spot on. Local LEOs could never get away with presenting handwritten after the fact notes of a suspect’s interview. And something must be done about the felony of lying to the feds. At the St and local level it is at worst a misdameanor obstruction and rarely prosecuted.
Spoke to a friend, a retired SAC with the FBI. He admitted that there is no felony of lying or perjury for agents, only the charge of demonstrating a lack of candor.
And everyone should read Michael Goodwin in today’s NY Post. This is a guy who voted gor Barky in ‘08 and then recognized the truth.
What evidence do you have that video and audio records of the interviews do not exist as well as the 302?
I would argue that such records keep the written 302 honest and can be dissiminated easy and quickly read whereas a video takes a long time to review.
Is this the same fbi guy that had a gag order lifted a few months ago.. This man just saved the republic, a hero...
“What evidence do you have that video and audio records of the interviews do not exist as well as the 302?”
The fact that they haven’t been submitted as evidence.
Pretty simple, really.

Documents Trump videos
Not recording interviews (except since 2014 for those of a suspect in custody) is longstanding FBI policy. The agents take handwritten notes and then those are used to create their 302s.
“Not recording interviews (except since 2014 for those of a suspect in custody) is longstanding FBI policy.“
I know. It’s a stupid policy and should be ended immediately.
No recording, no interview.

Completely agree. A digital recorded is cheap, and anyone who talks to a government official needs to make their own recording that is also being uploaded to the cloud during the conversation.
Woa!! The last sentence was the big drop!
Dude went to the IG!!! Do you know what a shiite storm big deal mic drop that is, in the FIB?!?!
